Traveler Tips
One day was a bit chilly, and when the bus in in behind the buildings it was even more so, bundle up and enjoy the ride.
However, if you plan on spending several hours at a location, it is a bit of a waste as the bus only runs from 8:30am - 7:30pm.

Slow with no harbour ferry option
Susan_C, Feb 2023
The Red Route is very slow through the Sydney traffic. The Blue Route moves much quicker. Do not book the 2 day pass with the harbour ferry cruise if you are visiting on a Monday and Tuesday as they do not run, although this is not advertised anywhere and therefore a waste of money.
I used your app. Real...
Christine_T, Feb 2023
I used your app. Real time? Hell no. The time it said and what actually happened was about 10 - 15 minutes out, which caused me to miss two busses.
It is a good thing to do in Sydney
Susana_B, Jan 2023
Hop in the bus and see the beautiful landscape and landmark of the amazing Sydney and seeing the architectural designs of the city itself

Victoria_B, Jan 2023
Was a great way to see Sydney in a quick way.
Seating up stairs was the best highlight for the kids.
Informative tour
Debra_N, Jan 2023
Enjoyed the tour of Sydney. The commentary was informative. We didn’t have a lot of time so the bus was a great way to get to see a bit of the city in a short amount of time.

JACQUI_I, Jan 2023
Experincing the iconic sights of sydney and having the opportunity to get off straight away to explore such as bondi
All rounder
William_N, Jan 2023
We just wanted to do an all-round trip so we could see a bit of everything. It was a good idea because we know, the next time we come, we will get off at places we would like to see more of.
Dreadful.
Jennifer_M, Jan 2023
The first bus of the day that we got ready fir was 40 minutes late. Then we went 2 stops and there was no commentary. When the driver was asked why not he said he was new and did not know how to work it! At the next stop a member of staff tried to help him and the engine was turned off. After another 10 minutes of just waiting to get going we got off! We had got a 2 day pass and so the next day I used their live tracking so as not to waste time. We decided to go to Bondi beach and waited to go to the bus stop until there was 8 minutes to go. We did that and waited for 49 minutes and then to be honest there was still no bus so ended up getting a taxi! What a waste of money and time.
